About canceling background tasks

Background tasks that have a status of either READY or RUNNING can be canceled.

The specific procedure to cancel a background task depends on what form you are using to request the cancellation:

• Active Background Task: See Canceling a task on the Active Background Task form.
• Background Task History: See Canceling a task on the Background Task History form.
• Active Background Task Purge Utility: See Using the Active Background Tasks Purge Utility.
